New Dover, originally Dover, also had a frame combination depot. Its passenger agency was closed in 1929. The Big Four had used a gasoline-powered motorcar for passengers between Delaware and Springfield in the early 1900s, but switched to pulling a single coach at the end of a freight train in 1928. Everything is gone now along the Delaware Branch, but the New Dover depot, shown here in 1969, exists as a private storage building. (Photograph by Charles Garvin.)

Marysville had a larger combination depot. Above, hotel hacks await the traveling salesmen and other visitors that need a ride into the city. Compare the activity in the early 1900s to the desolation of the early 1960s below. After the NYC closed the depot in the late 1950s, it was used as a warehouse for a number of years. The Big Four depot was gone by the mid-1960s. (Above, Jeff A. Spencer collection; below, photograph by Bernard Kern.)
